Let It Go

It hurts Him so to see my pain. Though I would see my loss as gain. My mind beclouded, devoid of reason, Remaining hot through passings seasons. The years have come and gone again, And still my anger ramains the same; So I entreat the Lord above, To fill me with forgiving love. Forgive them for me Lord, I pray, For I just can't, even today. Cleanse my heart and purge this ire, And quench the lust of vengeance fire; For it hurts no one but myself, It only hurts, it doesn't help. Remembering hurts of long ago, Won't help a thing, so let it go. Judy Ball Do you really think your enemies care how angry you are? 'Course Not! In fact, they enjoy your discomfort and Satan's having a ball, sooooooooo --- Let It Go. "Never take revenge, Beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay', says the Lord." Romans 12:19

Thanks Judy for your words of wisdom, I'm in the middle of an issue right now that requires forgiveness which I can do. It's the forgetting that is too hard.
